By now, I imagine that everyone is aware of the shortages we currently face. With Sorrow dead and Hope still in recovery, our food supply may be insecure for some time. And without electricity, it will be difficult for some of us to prepare what we do manage to find.

Under these circumstances, it seems both precarious and inefficient to let everyone scavenge for themselves. For now, I propose creating some kind of communal cooking space were we all can bring what we hunt and gather. An outdoor fire pit might suffice for now, although if someone else has a better proposal I would be glad to hear it.

Would anyone be interested in helping me to set something up?

Trying is all I ask.

How are you otherwise, besides the lack of grilled fish?

Still exhausted. I want to sleep for about forty-eight hours straight but I keep waking up when it starts to get warm.

[and injured, too, but it's not worth mentioning as far as he's concerned]

All of your family make it through all right?

[voice]

[utulien_aure]

Ai- that may end up another problem, if it happens to more of us. Will you be all right to perform your tests?

[So many people here never consider it worth mentioning when it's their injury.]

My cousin Maglor burnt his hands badly, and I took an unlucky blow to my sword arm. But we all lived; we will take that as a victory.

Do you need someone to look at those burns?

[even after all this, it's still something of an instinct to fix what he can when he sees it]

I'll be fine. I'm not running as ragged as I was even just a few days ago. I can manage, now that there's no fighting going on.

Elrond, Maglor's foster son, has been looking after him and- actually, have you met Elrond? He's a healer, the two of you might find each other interesting.

[Fingon wouldn't mind setting another healer on Maglor, but one should probably chat with the primary caregiver first.]

It is good that you're faring better now. Still, if you can get to sleep take the chance. We don't know when we'll need our strength back.

[voice]

[hot_mes]

I haven't. Maybe I'll look him up, if I can.

[professional curiosity mostly, but hey, so far his dealings with the elves have gone well. The more the merrier.]

I do - I mean, I will. If your arm isn't slowing you down, I won't harass you to look at it either.

[voice]

[utulien_aure]

It's been healing over the past few days.

[Which is a relief; Fingon's fine with his left hand, but it was inconvenient not being able to wield a sword with his right.]

I need to help dig a pit for the fire, but if that puts undue stress on it I will tell you.

[hot_mes]

Good enough for me. Take care of it.

[sounds like it's not broken at least, so...yay?]
